Paul Storr Silver Kings Pattern 4-Piece Tea & Coffee Set
4-Piece Tea and Coffee Set, Kings pattern
Paul Storr
Hallmarked London, 1823
This exquisite set by Paul Storr, dating from the early 19th century, represents a rare combination of both coffee and teapots, a design innovation of its time. This set represents the shift in cultural norms as coffee grew to prominence alongside beloved tea drinking. The set is crafted in the distinguished Kings pattern, known for its intricate detailing and elegant form. Notably, the finial may depict the crest of Bertie, Earl of Lindsey, featuring the bust of a bearded man adorned with a duke's crown, adding a layer of aristocratic significance.
The set is adorned with intricately chased cartouches, though they remain unengraved. The set is complete with a footless lamp, still retaining its original wick, along with a cream jug and sugar bowl, both featuring richly gilded interiors. The decorative elements—scrolls, flowers, leaves and shell motifs—are meticulously repousséed and chased over a textured ground, demonstrating Storr's mastery of silverwork. Each part is supported by four feet and adorned with an upward knurl, contributing to the set's overall elegance and balance.
Paul Storr's work is renowned for its unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail, making this set a testament to the height of English silver artistry during the Georgian era. This coffee and tea set was also part of the iconic Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.
